Since your friend redacted the emails with the same font/color as the email itself, it wasn't clear to the parent commenter what had happened, and they (likely) assumed you were po…

I really like this snippet from the justification for the symbol chosen: "APL apparently used +.×, which by combining a multi-character token, confusing attribute-access-like . syn…

A meta-comment to your unrelated comment - there is a Chrome extension called "WhatFont"[1] that gives you a button you can click, which adds a tooltip to your cursor telling you w…

Nothing an Amazon-Prime-Air-follower-and-grabber drone couldn't handle!

The parent wasn't claiming this; they were merely adding a single data point about a relevant topic! I for one had not thought about pre-filling the coupon code box before, and I'm…

To expand on your comment "rare diseases are actually quite common", I was struck by this in the article: More than 7,000 such diseases exist, afflicting a total of 25 million to 3…

Since I had to look it up: FTFF = Fix The &$%#ing Finder[1], a blanket term for OS X Finder woes! [1]: http://www.applematters.com/article/ftff/

In TextMate (OS X), a Cmd+/ does the same thing as well! To the author's credit, he does mention his hack has "no tool dependencies".

Shameless plug: I wrote a short post on this exact subject two days ago[1]! I also describe how to display the '{{' and '}}' strings in Jinja2, which is comically non-trivial :D [1…

My absolute favorite is Białowieża Forest [1] - I died laughing many many times, and I even learned a thing or two along the way. For me, nothing beats enlightening educational ent…

The navigation was so poorly executed that I didn't even realize there was more than one page! I admire people experimenting, but this feels like taking the idea 80% of the way the…

I love these kind of interactions; both listening and explaining equally! I find I can elicit these kinds of explanations from others by being actively interested, reading how they…

I understand your point, but just because we all love Miyazaki films (the objective truth :D) doesn't mean we each don't have our own unique traits/interests/hobbies/etc. that prov…

What percentage of 20-30 year old males do you believe have played Portal (2), saw this posting, had the inclination to download the mod, and the inquisitiveness and persistance to…

My main takeaway was the following: Z-index only works on positioned elements. If you try to set a z-index on an element with no position specified, it will do nothing. I know I ha…

I love seeing how other people express and communicate the things they are passionate about. I fully support people geeking out about whatever they please, as long as it makes them…

The first time I have seen the word "fellatious" in the wild - thank you for bringing this gem to my attention :)

You begin your sentence with "Except" -- however you and the parent are saying the same thing :)

I would guess a lot of the initial customers for the iPad Mini won't be too sensitive to the price difference between the iPad Mini and a comparable Android device. They may base t…

As another datapoint, I have been using a crappy old Linksys WRT54GL plus another $20 router to do every single thing you mention (except for handling large numbers of clients - al…

I enjoy finding out what I like, and exploring why I like it. I posit that this is an inherent property of appreciation which allows one get more out of something. The "meta-HN" st…

I don't think the parent was claiming that Spotify would necessarily outlive the record labels, but rather some new paradigm for music recording/distribution would disrupt the labe…

Would you mind elaborating on what you use for static generation, and how you get it into S3? Any links to your work? I feel this solution has a lot of merit, and I would like to s…
